BAN 38/4 (9 ov, Mominul Haque 6*, Najmul Hossain Shanto 4*, Keshav Maharaj 1/4, SA vs BAN live score, 2nd Test, day 2, Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium, Chattogram, October 29

4.53pm The players are going off. It has gotten gloomy out there, and that includes the face of the two Bangladesh batters leaving the ground. The South Africans, on the other hand, walk out in unison with smiles on their faces.

In nine overs, SA rattled Bangladesh four times, leaving them 537 runs behind with only six wickets in hand. The world’s new No. 1 Test bowler got the early breakthroughs, and then Paterson and Maharaj took one more wicket apiece.

But before that, it was the SA allrounders who razed Bangladesh to the round. De Zorzi failed to get his double ton, falling for 177, but the pair of Mulder (105*) and Muthusamy (68*) mauled the hosts in the afternoon, leaving Bangladesh in an unenviable position in this Test. Since we lost around 17 overs today, expect an early start tomorrow too.

Till then, this is Sreshth Shah saying goodbye for the day, along with Thilak Rama and Shashwat Kumar. We’ll join you tomorrow for day three. Keep your eyes peeled on our homepages for the day two report and analysis pieces. Ta-da!
